The target’s affectations are not physical, but they will have very strong feelings for the designate. The target will do whatever possible to win the favor or help the designate.

Description: The target becomes confused and unfamiliar with their surroundings and their identity. The target is not susceptible to suggestions (this will only cause the target to become even more confused). The target cannot understand what is being said or what is occurring around them.

Counter Spell: dispel magik
Description: The target must follow a one-word command from the caster, as best interpreted by the target (for instance, the command “kill” may cause the target to attack the caster). The command must be one that the target can accomplish or act out (i.e. “die” is an extremely difficult action to perform).
Pre-requisite: decipher magik
Duration: instant
Range: touch
Special: costs two CP when cast
Description: This spell has many applications. The most common is allowing the caster to magikally understand how a written spell functions. Once the written spell is understood, it can be cast once from memory (this, of course, costs one CP). A comprehended spell can only be “remembered” for one hour. Only one spell can be understood per casting of comprehend magik.
A spell that has been comprehended by the caster can be made into a scroll (see create scroll). The caster can only create a scroll from a written spell, not from memory.
Another application of comprehend magik will give the caster some understanding of an unknown spell or unique magik effect, per the GM. The caster will get a description or additional information about the magik, but will be unable to cast the spell or create a scroll. The effectiveness of comprehend magik to discern all or part of a spell or magik effect is left to the discretion of the GM.

Counter Spell: dispel magik
Description: One greater (intelligent) undead within range will be under the control of the caster. The being will complete one task for the caster.

Duration: 5 minutes
Range: 10’ radius or touch
Marker: roll of string, marking ribbon, etc. and a strip of red cloth
Description: After the spell is cast, the caster must visibly attach a strip of red cloth to the area marker to indicate that the spell is active. Within the range of this spell, nature becomes corrupted (i.e. the plant life becomes twisted and unnatural). This effect on the landscape is physical and lasting, not simply a magikal illusion. Fae creatures that enter the area suffer one BP of damage.
When used as a touch spell against a fae creature, corrupt causes one BP of damage.
Duration: 5 minutes
Range: touch
Counter Spell: dispel magik
Description: The spell-caster designates an object (not a person or monster) to which the target is drawn. The target will go to just about any length to possess the object.

Exception: can only be cast once per day
Duration: instant
Range: touch
Special Component: in-game item to become new focus
Counter Spell: dispel magik (see below)
Special: 15 minutes required casting-time
Description: This costly spell allows experienced magik-users to create a new focus of power when theirs is lost and cannot be found. Part of what makes a focus powerful is that the mage imbues it with some of their life force.
After 15 minutes of uninterrupted ceremony, the caster invokes this spell. This causes the caster to permanently lose one BP. This cannot be regained through any form of healing. Breaking the new focus does not return the lost BP. The only way the BP can be regained is through use of XP. If this spell is interrupted, the caster loses the BP, but fails to imbue the focus with their life-energy.
If a previous focus is recovered after a new one is created, the old one no longer has any power and cannot aid the mage in recovering CP.
This spell cannot be used to create a focus of power for any mage other than the caster.
Dispel magik can be used to interrupt the ceremonial part of the spell. Dispel magik will have no effect once the focus is completed.
Note: A caster can still make a new focus of power out-of-game (without a loss of BP) as per the magik section rules. This spell is meant to be used in-game when the situation is dire.
Duration: instant
Range: touch
Counter Spell: purify blood negates the effects of an consumed potion or powder
Special Component: ingredients, vessel, and OOG info tag (see below)
Description: Casting create potion/powder costs 1 CP. The alchemist or herbalist must then cast the spell to be added to the mix, spending additional CP. This spell must already be available to the mage (included in their spell book).
For example: if a potion is being created with four doses of the heal spell, create potion/powder must be cast four times as does the heal spell being infused into the potion (8 CP total).
Every potion and powder must have an OOG tag attached to the containing vessel that includes all of the following information: expiration date (herbalist concoctions only), number of doses, and a written description of the spell. This tag should be folded over and marked OOG to allow identification if a it is stolen or if questions arise. Only people with discern potion/powder, decipher magik (for alchemic concoctions only), or someone who has ingested the concoction should open and read it.
Expiration Date
Herbalist concoctions are made with natural ingredients and lose all effect after six months.
Alchemist concoctions are magikal and do not expire.
Doses
One dose is equal to the effect of one spell on one person. A single dose is required for every serving of food or beverage it is added to. If a potion or powder is put into a much larger quantity (i.e. a soup pot at the inn), it is diluted and does not work. To treat a larger quantity of food or drink effectively, you must place as many doses as there are servings in that container.
For example: a bottle of wine requires four doses, one for each serving held within the bottle. The same goes for soup pots on the fire, one dose per serving. Making an estimate of servings is up to the honesty of the person with the potion/powder.
A dose of a potion is one mouthful of liquid, about 2 tablespoons.
A dose of a powder is 1/2 teaspoon of powder.
Description
The description of the spell effects infused into the concoction must be written verbatim from the spell list. Include an OGG description tag for every dose of potion or powder in the container.
Ingredients
Potions are to be made of Kool-Aid™ or a similar colored, flavored drink powder mixed with water. Powders are to be comprised of powdered candy such as Pixie Stix™, Raven’s Revenge™, or Kool-Aid™.
PP Costs: Special - Automatic for Alchemists and Herbalists, not available to others.

Exception: can only be cast once per day

Once created, the scroll can be used only once before it becomes useless.
The caster has the option to make the scroll usable by non-mages. A scroll written in magik script must have decipher magik cast upon it before another character can utilize it. The caster must indicate on the scroll whether or not it is written in magik script.
Exception: can only be cast once per day

Counter Spell: remove curse
Description: This spell causes all attacks (magikal and normal) to do double damage against the target. The target will also be subject to other bad luck, which requires a bit of role-playing on the target’s part, and possibly even from other players in the area.
Exception: can only be cast once per day
Duration: 1 hour
Range: touch
Marker: green strip of cloth or ribbon, and an OOG card describing the curse
Counter Spell: remove curse
Description: This spell can only affect hand-crafted items (e.g. rings, pendants, swords, armor, parasols, etc.). Curse item cannot be cast on enchanted items, weapons, or armor. To curse an item, the caster ties a green strip of cloth to the item. The time in which the caster does this is considered OOG. The green strip must have the word “curse” written on it. Other characters cannot “see” the strip of green cloth, for it is a marker. It is there so that the players will know that the item is cursed, and thief characters will know that even if they steal it, it will magikally end up in the owner’s possession again.
The curse can be anything the caster comes up with, but should not be too complex. Example: “I curse your sword to never strike me,” or “I curse your water skin to forever foul all that it contains,” etc.
A cursed item cannot be dropped, sold, lost, or stolen. If any of these conditions were to apply, the item would magikally end up back in the owner’s possession. Dispel magik has no effect.
If the owner of the cursed item feels that the curse is too powerful, they may petition a GM to modify it.

Included are magikally inscribed books (such as other magik-user’s spell books), enchanted or magikal items, scrolls (written in magik script), and magikal potions and powders (alchemist only). Decipher magik does not allow the caster to utilize the spells out of another’s book, but does allow one to know what is in that spell book. Once an object is read, the spell need not be cast again to read the same object. If there is not a marker or OOG information tag explaining the magik being deciphered, the caster must either learn the details from the owner of the item or find a GM.
The caster can also use decipher magik to determine what spells have been cast upon a person.
Duration: 5 minutes

Marker: roll of string, marking ribbon, etc., and a strip of red cloth

After 3 RL months the potion loses its' potency and will only spark brightly, causing BLIND for 10 seconds, becoming FLASH POWDER instead.
Note: Included for completeness's sake. Only one Alchemist In-Game currently has the recipe for this spell.
Extract
Duration: one hour
Range: touch
Description:This spell allows the caster to borrow a physical trait, innate ability or learned skill from the target. To perform this feat the target must first be reduced to zero BP. Next, the caster must state aloud the trait that they are extracting in the manner of a killing-blow (i.e. “I extract your elven blend ability once, I extract your elven blend ability twice, I extract your elven blend ability thrice”). At the end of this casting, the trait is transferred to the caster for the period of one hour. One cannot extract character stats (such as BP), or spell casting abilities.
During the hour, the caster can use that skill while the target cannot. At the end of the spell, the trait reverts to the target. At the time of this reversion, the caster suffers the effects of a pain spell due to the trauma of the trait leaving their body. The target suffers no ill effects for regaining the trait.

Comprehend Magik
Pre-requisite: decipher magikDuration: instant
Range: touch
Special: costs two CP when cast
Description: This spell has many applications. The most common is allowing the caster to magikally understand how a written spell functions. Once the written spell is understood, it can be cast once from memory (this, of course, costs one CP). A comprehended spell can only be “remembered” for one hour. Only one spell can be understood per casting of comprehend magik.
A spell that has been comprehended by the caster can be made into a scroll (see create scroll). The caster can only create a scroll from a written spell, not from memory.
Another application of comprehend magik will give the caster some understanding of an unknown spell or unique magik effect, per the GM. The caster will get a description or additional information about the magik, but will be unable to cast the spell or create a scroll. The effectiveness of comprehend magik to discern all or part of a spell or magik effect is left to the discretion of the GM.

Marker: roll of string, marking ribbon, etc. and a strip of red cloth

Within the range of this spell, nature becomes corrupted (i.e. the plant life becomes twisted and unnatural). This effect on the landscape is physical and lasting, not simply a magikal illusion. Fae creatures that enter the area suffer one BP of damage.
When used as a touch spell against a fae creature, corrupt causes one BP of damage.

Create Focus
Exception: can only be cast once per dayDuration: instant
Range: touch
Special Component: in-game item to become new focus
Counter Spell: dispel magik (see below)
Special: 15 minutes required casting-time
Description: This costly spell allows experienced magik-users to create a new focus of power when theirs is lost and cannot be found. Part of what makes a focus powerful is that the mage imbues it with some of their life force.
After 15 minutes of uninterrupted ceremony, the caster invokes this spell. This causes the caster to permanently lose one BP. This cannot be regained through any form of healing. Breaking the new focus does not return the lost BP. The only way the BP can be regained is through use of XP. If this spell is interrupted, the caster loses the BP, but fails to imbue the focus with their life-energy.
If a previous focus is recovered after a new one is created, the old one no longer has any power and cannot aid the mage in recovering CP.
This spell cannot be used to create a focus of power for any mage other than the caster.
Dispel magik can be used to interrupt the ceremonial part of the spell. Dispel magik will have no effect once the focus is completed.
Note: A caster can still make a new focus of power out-of-game (without a loss of BP) as per the magik section rules. This spell is meant to be used in-game when the situation is dire.

Create Potion/Powder
Duration: instantRange: touch
Counter Spell: purify blood negates the effects of an consumed potion or powder
Special Component: ingredients, vessel, and OOG info tag (see below)
Description: Casting create potion/powder costs 1 CP. The alchemist or herbalist must then cast the spell to be added to the mix, spending additional CP. This spell must already be available to the mage (included in their spell book).
For example: if a potion is being created with four doses of the heal spell, create potion/powder must be cast four times as does the heal spell being infused into the potion (8 CP total).
Every potion and powder must have an OOG tag attached to the containing vessel that includes all of the following information: expiration date (herbalist concoctions only), number of doses, and a written description of the spell. This tag should be folded over and marked OOG to allow identification if a it is stolen or if questions arise. Only people with discern potion/powder, decipher magik (for alchemic concoctions only), or someone who has ingested the concoction should open and read it.
Expiration Date
Herbalist concoctions are made with natural ingredients and lose all effect after six months.
Alchemist concoctions are magikal and do not expire.
Doses
One dose is equal to the effect of one spell on one person. A single dose is required for every serving of food or beverage it is added to. If a potion or powder is put into a much larger quantity (i.e. a soup pot at the inn), it is diluted and does not work. To treat a larger quantity of food or drink effectively, you must place as many doses as there are servings in that container.
For example: a bottle of wine requires four doses, one for each serving held within the bottle. The same goes for soup pots on the fire, one dose per serving. Making an estimate of servings is up to the honesty of the person with the potion/powder.
A dose of a potion is one mouthful of liquid, about 2 tablespoons.
A dose of a powder is 1/2 teaspoon of powder.
Description
The description of the spell effects infused into the concoction must be written verbatim from the spell list. Include an OGG description tag for every dose of potion or powder in the container.
Ingredients
Potions are to be made of Kool-Aid™ or a similar colored, flavored drink powder mixed with water. Powders are to be comprised of powdered candy such as Pixie Stix™, Raven’s Revenge™, or Kool-Aid™.
PP Costs: Special - Automatic for Alchemists and Herbalists, not available to others.
Create Scroll
Exception: can only be cast once per dayDuration: instant
Range: touch
Component: in-game scroll making materials
Description: Create scroll allows a spell to be imprinted onto a scroll for later use. This imprinted spell can be either a spell from the caster’s list, or another written spell that the caster has used comprehend magik to understand. Once created, the scroll can be used only once before it becomes useless.
The caster has the option to make the scroll usable by non-mages. A scroll written in magik script must have decipher magik cast upon it before another character can utilize it. The caster must indicate on the scroll whether or not it is written in magik script.

Curse Item
Exception: can only be cast once per dayDuration: 1 hour
Range: touch
Marker: green strip of cloth or ribbon, and an OOG card describing the curse
Counter Spell: remove curse
Description: This spell can only affect hand-crafted items (e.g. rings, pendants, swords, armor, parasols, etc.). Curse item cannot be cast on enchanted items, weapons, or armor. To curse an item, the caster ties a green strip of cloth to the item. The time in which the caster does this is considered OOG. The green strip must have the word “curse” written on it. Other characters cannot “see” the strip of green cloth, for it is a marker. It is there so that the players will know that the item is cursed, and thief characters will know that even if they steal it, it will magikally end up in the owner’s possession again.
The curse can be anything the caster comes up with, but should not be too complex. Example: “I curse your sword to never strike me,” or “I curse your water skin to forever foul all that it contains,” etc.
A cursed item cannot be dropped, sold, lost, or stolen. If any of these conditions were to apply, the item would magikally end up back in the owner’s possession. Dispel magik has no effect.
If the owner of the cursed item feels that the curse is too powerful, they may petition a GM to modify it.

Decipher magik does not allow the caster to utilize the spells out of another’s book, but does allow one to know what is in that spell book. Once an object is read, the spell need not be cast again to read the same object. If there is not a marker or OOG information tag explaining the magik being deciphered, the caster must either learn the details from the owner of the item or find a GM.
The caster can also use decipher magik to determine what spells have been cast upon a person.

Enchant Armor/Shield
Exception: can only be cast once per dayDuration: 30 minutes
Range: touch
Marker: strip of red cloth, OOG identification card
Description: This most basic form of enchanting allows the caster to enchant armor or a shield with a spell from their repertoire. To do this, the caster needs the armor or shield to be enchanted and must have in their repertoire the enchantment spell to be used.
To enchant the armor or shield, the caster must first cast enchant armor/shield, and then cast the spell that will become the enchantment. The caster will then tie a red strip of cloth onto the enchanted armor or shield. If tied in a prominent place, the armor appears in-game to have the soft glow of magik. Tied in a concealed spot, the armor or shield appears normal to the unaided eye, but will radiate magik when viewed by magikal means. Lastly the caster provides the bearer with an OOG information card with the full description of the spell enchantment This card will be read by anyone who casts decipher magik upon the armor or shield.
The caster can choose to make the enchantment mage-class specific (i.e. only usable by one form of spell caster). The restriction can be divine, death, elemental, or restorative, but not true.

Enchant Item
Exception: can only be cast once per dayDuration: 30 minutes
Range: touch
Marker: strip of red cloth, OOG identification card
Description: This most basic form of enchanting allows the caster to enchant an item with a spell from their repertoire. To do this, the caster needs the item to be enchanted and must have in their repertoire the enchantment spell to be used.
To enchant an item, the caster must first cast enchant item, and then cast the spell that will become the enchantment. The caster will then tie a red strip of cloth onto the enchanted item. If tied in a prominent place, the item appears in-game to have the soft glow of magik. Tied in a concealed spot, the item appears normal to the unaided eye, but will radiate magik when viewed by magikal means. Lastly the caster provides the bearer with an OOG information card with the full description of the spell enchantment. This card will be read by anyone who casts decipher magik upon the item.
The caster can choose to make the enchantment mage-class specific (i.e. only usable by one form of spell caster). The restriction can be divine, death, elemental, or restorative, but not true. If a magik-user who is not of that field of study (or a non-mage character) attempts to use the enchantment on the item, they will be unsuccessful.
To use the enchantment, the character must be in contact with the item.

Extract
Duration: one hourRange: touch
Description:This spell allows the caster to borrow a physical trait, innate ability or learned skill from the target. To perform this feat the target must first be reduced to zero BP. Next, the caster must state aloud the trait that they are extracting in the manner of a killing-blow (i.e. “I extract your elven blend ability once, I extract your elven blend ability twice, I extract your elven blend ability thrice”). At the end of this casting, the trait is transferred to the caster for the period of one hour. One cannot extract character stats (such as BP), or spell casting abilities.
During the hour, the caster can use that skill while the target cannot. At the end of the spell, the trait reverts to the target. At the time of this reversion, the caster suffers the effects of a pain spell due to the trauma of the trait leaving their body. The target suffers no ill effects for regaining the trait.
